BMR and Pfadt both make 1.25" springs for the SS. Both are great but the Pfadt springs have an edge on ride quality. If you have any other questions feel free to hit me up. We are a distributor for both.

Go Hotchkis 1" if you want to take advantage of the race pack, which includes the sway bars, end links, strut brace, and most importantly I think - the chassis brace.
Its a great set up, not harsh but firm, road gripping performance. You will not regret it. Pieces sold separately or all together in the race pack. Its not just all about the springs... |

I fell in s#!t on amazon with the Hotchkis kit for 400.00 when it retails around a little over a grand. But its soooo worth it. Cant imagine the car with anything else.

I have Hotchkis on my convertible and they are fantastic. The car looks aggressive, takes corners like a champ and the ride quality is excellent!

I'm not sure what you're asking. My Hotchkis springs are a 1"-1.25" drop.

I went with hotchkis. I think the bmr springs have had some fittment issues on the 14s&15s. Something about the angle of the spring coil won't sit properly in the top perch if I remember correctly.
